What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit?
Oh, what needless pain we bear?

Is there trouble anywhere?

Oh, can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Oh, take it to the Lord in prayer
